So what will the next chapter look like?
- Exploring the Western Suburbs of Melbourne and all they have to offer.
- Getting involved with what I can already see as a vibrant, engaged community - helping kids to settle in.
- Looking at sustainable living while not impacting too much on the day to day. My partner and I have just bought an old house originally built in about 1900 (pictured in header). It has been renovated and extended but we would like to put in our personal touches with both design and improving the sustainability of the house and garden so looking at:
- energy efficiency of the house to help keep the energy bills in check
- solar panels
- an edible garden, with composting and worm farms and maybe a few chickens
- already has three water tanks
- and last but certainly not least, upcycling vintage furniture and other items.

And keeping in mind how busy life is still want to try as much as possible to enjoy the day to day, enjoy the journey.
Wow! How exciting. I hope we get to hear a bit more about the intervening two years as well. It sounds like you have quiet a story to tell. Looking forward to getting back into your blog. :)
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog from a comment you left on another (The Inspired Room). When you said you were a westie, I thought you were a little white dog with pointy ears.
ReplyDeleteI just added your site to my reader because I too am interested in sustanaible living and adding solar. Keep it up!
